No, it is not a function, since 6 is repeating itself and the x should never repeat if it’s a function.
We need to find two numbers that multiply to 24 (last coefficient) and add to 10 (middle coefficient). Through trial and error, the two values are 6 and 4
6 + 4 = 10
6*4 = 24
So we can break up the 10ab into 6ab+4ab and then use factor by grouping
a^2 + 10ab + 24b^2
a^2 + 6ab + 4ab + 24b^2
(a^2+6ab) + (4ab+24b^2)
a(a+6b) + 4b(a+6b)
(a+4b)(a+6b)
Therefore, the original expression factors completely to (a+4b)(a+6b)
Answer: 0.06p = 0.72
p = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price was $12.
Option D. D has the matrix of constants [[12], [11], [4]].
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
With the given equations, we can form matrices to represent them.
The coefficients of x, y, and z form a matrix of order 3 ×3, the variables x, y, and z form a matrix of order 1 ×3 and the constants form a matrix of order 1 ×3.
Step 2:
The linear system A is represented as
.
Step 3:
The linear system B is represented as
.
Step 4:
The linear system C is represented as
.
Step 5:
The linear system D is represented as
.
Step 6:
Of the four options, the linear system D has the matrix of constants [[12], [11], [4]]. So the answer is option D. D.
